(U)Chapter Five(U)
Draco's head was pounding and everyone refused to give him a hangover cure, their own little way of punishing him for being so stupid and scaring them like that. So when Bella picked him up he hated the fact that for some strange reason today she was in a very talkative mood,
"Where did you go last night Draco? Your friend Harry called me, he sounded worried. Didn't you let him know where to were going?"
"Can we not talk about it?" Draco asked with a wince.
"No! We are talking about it. I'm sick of not talking about stuff," Bella snapped, glaring at his quickly before returning her eyes to the wet road.
"Can we at least wait until my hangovers gone to talk about this?" Draco all but begged, rubbing at his temples where an elephant was trying to tap dance. God he'd had way too much to drink last night and some of it was a bit fuzzy…had Harry really punched some guy in the face?
"Hangover?" Bella asked stiffly, "Hangover!"
"Bella, please…"
"You frightened everyone to death to go out and get drunk!" Bella roared at him, slamming the truck around the corner and into the school car park. "What on Earth were you thinking? And where the Hell did you go?"
"Some club in Seattle," Draco shrugged.
"You went all the way to Seattle last night to get drunk?" Bella asked angrily.
"Um…yeah," Draco mumbled.
"You're an idiot," she glared at him after she'd parked the truck and switched off the engine. "No, we're not going in yet. We're going to talk."
"Bella please, softer voice…" Draco begged.
"No," Bella snapped, "Why did you feel the need to go and get drunk?"
"To forget," Draco snapped back.
"So you thought drinking would be a good way to forget?" Bella demanded.
"No, but I thought I'd get so drunk I didn't care what the fuck happened any more!" Draco roared back at her before moaning in pain and holding his head.
"What if someone had picked you up when you were drunk?" Bella asked.
"Er…"
"Someone did!" she screamed.
"Bella, please…" Draco said with a shudder. Just what he needed, a hangover mixed with a panic attack. "Don't scream…"
"You got drunk and picked up! Of course I'm going to scream! Do you even remember what happened? Draco, you could have contracted a disease if…did you…?" Bella asked awkwardly.
"No. Harry found me and took me away," Draco mumbled, "Nothing happened, not that it matters."
"Well thank fuck for Harry," Bella snapped and Draco stared at her, oh she was really angry. Bella never swore but then again neither did he and he had. "You stupid boy…" This was said almost sadly. "Don't do this again. It won't help. You'll just become an alcoholic and then…"
"I won't become an alcoholic because of the Cullens Bella," Draco said softly, "This was just to help with yesterday."
"What was so…oh. Valentines. Right," Bella mumbled.
"Did you honestly forget?" Draco asked.
"Kinda," Bella mumbled.
"I'm not planning on doing it again any time soon, not when my mother wouldn't give me anything for my hangover as punishment," Draco muttered.
"Good. It's what you deserve," Bella was talking quieter now at least. She took a deep breath before speaking again, "Well, let's put this behind us now and not speak of your moment of pure stupidity any more."
"Thanks," Draco mumbled, going to get out of the truck.
"On a completely different note," Bella held him back and with a sigh he settled back into his seat once more. "Do you and Harry want to go to the cinema on Friday? I'm asking pretty much everyone, it's time we got back into doing things with the others don't you?"
"I have been doing stuff with them," Draco said softly, "Not as much as before but I have been doing some stuff."
"So that's why they seem to hate me more," Bella mumbled.
"They don't hate you," Draco said quickly.
"Jessica and Lauren do," Bella said.
"They're idiots," Draco shrugged, "I wouldn't get too worked up about them."
"But anyway do you want to come?" Bella asked, "And Harry of course."
"Yeah I'd love to and I'm sure Harry will too," Draco answered, "Now shouldn't we head in? I think the bells gone." Draco nodded to the car park devoid of students. There weren't even any rushing inside.
"Ah," Bella mumbled, "Yeah, we need to get inside."
Bella had indeed asked everyone but in the end not everyone could go, what with Jessica and Laurens attitude and the nasty stomach bug going round. The two wizards left a happy Teddy with Narcissa and Lucius and walked to Bella's house, dressed for their night out in their nice but sort of casual clothes. They arrived a little after Mike had apparently, his hand was just being released by Jacob.
"That looked like a painful shake," Harry muttered.
"They both fancy Bella," Draco explained softly.
"Oh," Harry said and he seemed to deflate in front of Draco's eyes, "So Jacob's straight then?" he asked, trying not to sound too sad.
"Well I thought so and he does like her but the way he reacted to you…"
"To me?" Harry gasped.
"Well at least I thought so," Draco said with a smug smile.
"To me," Harry mumbled, sounding rather distracted all of a sudden.
"But he may also be a werewolf," Draco reminded him.
"A very cute werewolf…did I just say that out loud?" Harry asked.
"Yeah," Draco chuckled.
"Please forget that I did," Harry ordered.
"Hi guys," Bella greeted with a smile.
"Hey Bella, Jacob," Draco smiled at her, "Mike, don't think you've met Harry."
"No we haven't met yet. Hi Harry," Mike said, giving Harry a look that was clearly sizing him up as competition. Harry shared a look with Draco who nodded towards Bella and Harry snorted. Obviously he still managed to come across as straight. "How are you liking Forks?"
"It's nice. Teddy likes it," Harry smiled.
"Teddy? Oh, that's your kid right," Mike mumbled.
"Yeah, my Godson," Harry nodded.
"You know your not gonna get many chicks with a kid hanging onto you," Mike said with a laugh.
"Excuse me?" Harry asked in shock.
"Mike," Bella said in warning.
"What?" Mike asked, not seeing what he'd said.
"Ever heard of foot-in-mouth?" Draco asked angrily, "Of course not, that would require a brain which judging by your lack of thinking you don't have."
"Draco let me handle this," Harry shushed him quietly, "For your information Teddy is not hanging onto me, I love that little boy like he was my own son. And one day he will be my own son when I adopt him. I don't care if it affects my love life, that little boy is worth anything I could give or sacrifice for him." Mike stared at him in surprise, a shocked look moving across his face as he realised how his comment had been taken, not as the joke he had meant it to be. "Oh, and just in case you were wondering. I'm gay."
"…" Mike wasn't the only one who didn't know what to say but he was the one everyone was looking at.
"So…movie?" Jacob asked, forcing his voice to be light, "I'm driving."
"Is that you're car?" Harry asked, his bad mood evaporating, "But I thought it didn't run, Bella told Draco it didn't run…"
"I finished fixing it up last night," Jacob admitted, "First run."
"Oh," Harry nodded. Bella's phone rang inside the house.
"I'd better get that…it might be Charlie," she said softly before rushing inside leaving the four boys alone.
"You're lucky," Draco muttered to Mike, "Very lucky. If you had said something like that to me you'd be missing a few teeth." Draco really wanted to tell the idiotic teen than he'd hex him to the moon if he said anything else like that.
"I didn't mean it like that," Mike protested, "It was a joke…"
"You might have noticed that none of us laughed," Draco said coldly before going over to Harry and Jacob, leaving Mike standing alone. Bella came out of the house a few minutes later, looking a little sad,
"Ang is sick," she sounded rather glum, "She and Ben aren't coming." Ah yes, Ben, Ang's boyfriend. Poor Eric had come and gone but Ben had stuck around. And he was a nice guy, good for Angela. And Draco liked him.
"I guess the flu is making another round. Austin and Conner were out today, too. Maybe we should do this another time," Mike suggested.
"I'm still up for it. But if you'd rather to stay behind, Mike-" Jacob said.
"No, I'm coming," Mike interrupted, quite obviously annoyed at the fact that Jacob had pretty much just insulted his manliness, "I was just thinking of Angela and Ben. Let's go." He started towards his suburban but Bella interrupted,
"Hey, do you mind if Jacob drives?" she asked and Draco wondered if Mike hadn't heard Jacob say he was driving earlier. Or maybe he'd just ignored it, "I told him he could…he just finished his car. He built it from scratch, all by himself." The proud tone in her voice definitely annoyed Mike.
"Fine," he eventually snapped.
"All right, then," Jacob said comfortably before leading everyone over to his pride and Joy. Mike climbed grumpily into the back seat and Draco slid in after, taking the middle seat so that Mike and Harry wouldn't be next to each other. After all there was no need to tempt fate, especially not where Mike's big mouth was concerned. Bella got into the passenger seat in front of Mike and Jacob obviously took the drivers seat.
Jacob chatted happily as he drove, making Bella giggle at times as Mike silently fumed behind her. Draco kept a close eye on him and he frowned when Mike changed his tactics, leaning on the back of Bella's seat so that his cheek was practically resting on hers.
"Doesn't do subtle to well does he?" Harry asked, not being exactly subtle himself. But then he hadn't meant to be.
"Doesn't the radio work in this thing?" Mike interrupted Jacob mid-sentence, acting as if he hadn't heard Harry's comment.
"Yes," Jacob answered, "But Bella doesn't like music."
"Bella?" Mike asked, sounding annoyed. Oh there was a battle going on between those two for sure and Bella was the prize. Harry sighed sadly at that. So much for Draco's observations about Jacob.
"He's right," Bella admitted, staring at Jacob.
"How can you not like music?" Mike asked.
"I don't know. It just irritates me," Bella answered and Mike hmphed in annoyance, sitting back in his seat.
"So that's Jacob - 1, Mike - 0 right?" Harry asked softly.
"Yeah," Draco laughed, leaning forwards himself to whisper quietly, "Is it because of you-know-who?" All at once he felt extremely strange, this was the first time he'd called anyone but the Dark Lord you-know-who.
"Uh-huh," Bella muttered, looking out of her window.
"Enough said," Draco nodded and settled back.
They arrived at the theatre not long after and both Harry and Draco gave Bella their money, explaining that they still got confused by the American ways of this sort of place. In truth it was the muggle ways but what a little white lie between friends? Jacob surprised them all by handing her his own ten-dollar bill not long after they did. Bella frowned at him.
"What's this?" she asked.
"I'm not old enough to get into this one," he reminded them all.
"Oh right, you're only sixteen," Harry laughed softly, "You don't look it."
"So much for relative ages," Bella muttered, "Is Billy going to kill me if I sneak you in?" Harry and Draco assumed that Billy was Jacob's dad.
"No," Jacob said with a shrug, "I told him you were planning to corrupt my youthful innocence." Draco snorted,
"That could be taken in an entirely different way."
Mike flushed at that and almost growled in annoyance as he quickened his pace to keep up with the other four. Bella blushed in embarrassment as Jacob laughed loudly, seeing what Draco meant.
They got their tickets and decided not to get any popcorn. Draco went into their row first, then Harry, the Jacob, then Bella and Mike was on the end with the aisle seat. The movie began and Harry and Draco watched as people were killed in various violent and bloody ways. It was terrible movie but neither of them wanted to say anything, after all Bella had highly recommended it after reading the reviews.
But then Jacob started sniggering.
"What?" Bella asked softly.
"Oh, c'mon!" he hissed back to her, the others of their party listening in over the sounds of violence, "The blood squirted twenty feet out of that guy. How fake can you get?" He chuckled deeply again and the two wizards found them selves joining in with him.
"He has a point," Harry laughed and Jacob turned his stunning smile on him.
About halfway through the movie they all heard Mike give a soft groan as he put his head in his hands.
"Mike, are you ok?" Bella asked in a whisper.
"No," he groaned, "I think I'm sick."
"He doesn't look too good," Harry said, leaning forwards in his seat to look at the moaning teen. Other people around them were looking too. Mike gave a loud groan and the bolted for the door. Bella and Jacob both got up immediately.
"No stay, I'll make sure he's ok."
Jacob went with anyway and Harry sighed, slumping down in his seat.
"What's up?" Draco asked.
"You were wrong. Guys definitely straight," Harry said softly, "And completely with Bella. Well at least he's better than the other weak stomached idiot. Do you think it was this terrible film that made him ill?"
"Can't have been," Draco shook his head, "Film's not at all realistic."
"You're right there, blood isn't that bright in real life. Look, it's practically glowing!" Harry laughed, quite obviously trying to cheer himself up.
"He might be Bi you know," Draco said softly.
"Nah," Harry shook his head, "He likes Bella."
They sat and watched the film for a bit longer, waiting for the others to return but when they were still alone after twenty minute's they decided that they had best check on the other three. They found Bella and Jacob sitting together on the long bench outside the guys toilets. As Harry and Draco approached they began to catch what they were saying to each other,
"That's a funny scar you've got there," Jacob said, pulling her hand to him to examine it more closely, "How did it happen?"
"Do you honestly expect me to remember where all my scars come from?" Bella asked with a rather fake laugh, obviously trying to blow off the question.
"It's cold," Jacob murmured, pressing his fingers against the scar. "Oh hey you two." Jacob had finally noticed the two wizards stood before them.
"Hey. He still in there?" Draco asked, frowning at the door to the bathroom. Jacob went to answer with an yes but just then the door opened and an ashen Mike stumbled out, practically dripping with sweat.
"Oh Mike," Bella gasped, jumping up in shock.
"Do you mind leaving early?" he gasped softly, his hands clutching his stomach. Draco and Harry shared a glance, he looked horrible and no matter how much of an ass he could be they still felt sorry for him.
"No, of course not," Bella said quickly, helping Mike stand on his unsteady feet. Harry, the ever forgiving, kind hearted person he was went to Mike's other side, putting Mike's arm around his shoulders to help him stand.
"Movie too much for you?" Jacob asked heartlessly.
"I didn't actually see any of it," Mike mumbled with a glared for the younger teen, "I was nauseated before the lights went down."
"Why didn't you say something?" Bella scolded as they staggered towards the exit. Draco and Jacob followed behind them.
"I was hoping it would pass," Mike said softly.
"Just a sec," Jacob said, rushing away briefly and returning with an empty popcorn bucket. Mike inhaled the cool night air when they stepped outside and a tiny bit of colour returned to his face but not for long. They got in the car, Jacob leaning back to hand the bucket to Mike, "Please?" was all he said and the meaning was obvious. No sick in the car.
As one they all rolled down the windows letting in the icy air and when Draco began to shiver Harry put an arm round him like any good friend would, rubbing at his arms to help warm him. Jacob watched them in the rear view mirror, a strange look on his face before his attention went back to the shivering Bella in the front seat, her legs curled up to her chest.
"Cold again?" he asked her.
"You're not?" she asked. He shook his head and Draco agreed that he did look perfectly fine despite the freezing temperature. "You must have a fever or something," Bella grumbled, reaching over to feel his forehead. "Whoa, Jake….you're burning up!" she gasped, snatching her hand back.
"I feel fine," Jacob shrugged, "Fit as a fiddle." Bella frowned and checked his temperature again. "You're hands are like ice," Jacob complained as she did so.
"Maybe it's me," Bella mumbled.
Mike suddenly groaned beside Draco and threw up loudly in the bucket. Suddenly, as everyone does when they hear or see someone else being sick, they all felt a little sick too. The smell did not help.
They arrived at Bella's and then came the dilemma of getting Mike home. In the end Bella offered to drive him in the suburban and Jacob could follow in his car to pick her up. Draco and Harry volunteered to walk home.
"You sure?" Bella asked worriedly.
"Yeah, it's just a little walk and saves you an extra trip later," Draco said as they climbed out, helping put Mike in his own car.
"Sorry, this didn't go quite like I planned," Bella mumbled.
"That's ok, movie was amusing. What we saw of it anyway," Draco chuckled.
"It was nice seeing you again Harry. I hope you don't catch what Mike has because of this trip, I'd feel so guilty," Bella said apologetically.
"We'll be fine. You should get him home," Harry said with a smile, "Noice seeing you again Jacob."
"You too. Tell the little man I said hi," Jacob said with a smile from where he lent on his car. Harry nodded and then the two wizards headed off down the dimly lit street, heading for their house.
"I don't feel too good," Draco mumbled quietly when they were about half-way home. His hand rubbed at his suddenly aching stomach.
"Me neither," Harry admitted, "I think we might have caught it after all."
"Great," Draco mumbled.
They hurried the rest of the way home and when they arrived both were pale and shaking their stomachs about ready to send their dinners back up. Narcissa gasped at the sight of them.
"What's wrong?" she asked, hurrying them into the kitchen and sitting them at the table, both of them leaning forwards to ease the ache.
"Mike's sick with the flu or something. We might have caught it," Draco mumbled, "I feel so sick…"
"Hold on," Narcissa said, hurrying to the potions cupboard. She searched threw it and returned with two vials. "I can't get rid of the flu but I can help with the sick feeling and any throwing up. Take these." They obeyed, flinching at the taste but it did help calm their stomachs. But as she'd said it didn't help any of their other symptoms like the sudden dizziness and the headaches. "Now go lie down both of you. We'll have Teddy in with us tonight." Seeing the sense in her orders they were both all too happy to comply.
As soon their heads touched their pillows they were asleep.
Morning came and Draco felt a little better, at least he did until he stood up. Then the dizziness hit him like a sledge hammer and he fellt back without meaning to. Groaning he reached over for his phone and called Bella.
"'lo?"
"You sound like I feel," Draco grumbled.
"You got it too?" she asked.
"Yeah. Was ringing to see if you had. That answers my question," Draco sighed, "Did you get Mike home ok?"
"Yeah," Bella mumbled, "Jacob was feeling ill too. I rang but he couldn't talk to me. He got home ok though."
"Good," Draco mumbled, "Not about him being sick too. About him getting home ok. You gonna be ok?"
"Yeah, I've stopped being sick now. I just can't stand up."
"Mmmhmm," Draco hummed softly. "Well, get well soon."
"You too…oh what about Harry?"
"Sick too. My mum's looking after Teddy. I think we're under quarantine."
"Oh I hope Teddy doesn't get it," Bella said sadly.
"He won't. You've met my mother," Draco said reassuringly.
"Yeah."
"Get well soon Bella."
"Yeah, same to both of you."
He hung up first and lay back on his bed, covering his face with his arm. Oh how he hated being sick!
A/N Don't we all hate being sick? I had a bug just like this not long ago. Felt fine at seven, felt queasy at eight and by nine I was throwing up in the car on the way home from Sea Cadets (I volunteer as an Instructor) so I can seriously sympathise with the poor characters in this chapter.
